AG findings and corrective action Qualification
Item
GDA 09/10 10/11 Main Finding
Tangible and Intangible Capital Assets Q Q The DOD could not provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the amount disclosed, and the records did not permit the application of alternative procedures.
Challenges and underlying causes
DOD asset management systems are not accrual accounting compliant and not updated since there was a moratorium on development of systems set by National Treasury pending the development of the Integrated Financial Management System. Some DOD units are still on manual asset management systems. No single asset management system in the DOD. Values of assets updated to reflect the latest price and therefore overstating the true value of assets. Mismatch of classification in regard to the changing SCOA classification.

Action Plans
Corrective Measures (Tangible Capital Assets- Movable) Post structures were approved by the PDSC for a Director Asset Management, Deputy Director Inventory Management, Deputy Director Leases Management and Deputy Director Central Asset Control and Register Manager under the command of Chief of Logistics all financially skilled personnel. Director Asset Management and all the Deputy Directors have been appointed except Deputy Director Leases Management. National Treasury is working with the DOD on the Financial Management Capability Maturity Model project aimed at providing assistance in achieving a clean audit outcome. An interim reporting framework that will meet minimum Accountant General reporting requirements is being developed. This reporting framework will extend over a three year period (2011/12 to 2014) under the direct supervision and guidance of Accountant General, and is deemed adequate for the DOD to resolve most of its compliance challenges
41
Action Plans
Corrective Measures (Tangible Capital Assets- Movable)(Continued) The Financial Management Division is being re-organised to ensure that financial management capacity and functions provide the Services and Divisions with appropriate and adequate financial management skills that meet the current accounting standards requirements The Accountant General has deployed five officials to participate in the Operation Clean Audit project which holds Bi-weekly meetings. They assist in the conceptualisation of the list of defence unique accounting policy dispensation that is expected to be in place to ensure compliance while matching the needs of the Defence environment. An agreement is being crafted in terms of which the Accountant General will further allocate the Trainee Accountants (serving articles of clerkship) in the various areas requiring assistance (at the moment in CD Accounting, and the Director Asset Management). Financial Management System (FMS) and Log Systems enhancement (to produce Asset Register information) have been completed and is being used in populating and updating of the Asset Register.

Matter Items
GDA 09/10 10/11 Main Finding
Restatement of corresponding figures - EoM The corresponding figures for operating leases for 31 March 2010 have been restated as a result of an error discovered during 2010-11 financial year.
Reasons for the corrections made In the previous year most of the lease information for lease agreements whose contracts were not available from DPW was compiled on the basis of information that was in the DPW register. When the actual leases were located it was noted that in some cases the information recorded was not in line with the information per the contracts hence adjustments were required. Information regarding the long term leases as well had to be adjusted accordingly. Measures and Completion Dates DD Lease Management has been created to manage and coordinate the maintenance of the register. The DOD has compiled an accounting manual during the 2010/11 financial year providing detailed guidelines and instructions regarding the compilation and submission of financial statement figures .
47
Restatement of corresponding figures (Continued)

• Corrective Measures
• The FMD is busy restructuring to place financial
  managers at all Services and Divisions who will
  in future be responsible for the verification of
  the accuracy and completeness of financial
  statement figures.
• The DOD is also busy appointing a Head of
  Internal Audit to ensure that audits are
  conducted on the feeder systems, thereby
  providing additional assurance and quality
  control to the CFO and the Accounting Officer
  regarding completeness and accuracy of figures
  submitted to AGSA for audit purposes.
• Consideration for the establishment of a
  technical unit in the CFO office to deal with the
  fast development of technical requirements along
  the line of the Auditor General arrangements and
  to provide/perform quality assurance reviews at
  units.

Emphasis of Matter Items
GDA 09/10 10/11 Main Finding
Irregular Expenditure EoM EoM Irregular expenditure to the amount of R 799,349 million, mainly comprising procurement not in terms of Treasury Regulations, was incurred by the department.
Measures and Completion Dates The Office of the CFO has developed a Financial Misconduct Strategy which was presented to the Accountability Management Committee (AMC) and approved by the Accounting Officer (AO) in March 2011. The main objective of the strategy is aimed at preventing, detecting, recording, reporting, investigation, taking appropriate action and implementing corrective measures to discourage future reoccurrence of unauthorised, irregular and fruitless wasteful expenditure. Includes a comprehensive awareness/communication strategy for both internal and external role players regarding the occurrence of irregular expenditure. A Financial Misconduct policy has been revised, approved and implemented during the 2010/11 financial year. Each case is investigated to determine the cause, the transgressor, circumstances which led to its occurrence, recommendations on actions necessary and corrective actions.
